system that's flexible enough to make those chronic surpluses and deficits go away. for a century and more we thought that stable exchange rates and. domestic inflation and deflation was the way to adjust prices and make those imbalances go away the modern view is that there is an argument to kim to daylight savings time you can adjust all the prices once through exchange rate changes it doesn't work perfectly all the time but again i think the historical record shows that it's a more effective way than. artificially peg government controlled exchange rates to deal with the imbalance problem ok so if the problem is artificially controlled exchange rates what about artificially controlled interest rates because we see central banks having so much power and ability to manipulate interest rates and these are really the market signals these are the price signals and we've seen some unprecedented manipulation of them especially since the financial crisis so this i mean you could argue it moves us further away from a true capitalist system and more towards a centrally plan

on social security he denied any effect on the deficit at all. durbin said earlier last week social security hasn't added a dime to the dif is it. in fact, in 2012, it adds $160 billion of debt. there is more money in trust fund of social security to take care of it for 20 more years 25, more years. that means that pieces of paper in the trust fund with the treasury says we will pay you. but it doesn't have the money. it's spent the surplus in the past. that is simply a promise, from a treasury which is bankrupt. they won't touch social security. why? political implications. republicans are bad guys and they are the good guys. we don't want to balance it on back of seniors as if you are going to reform this and killing the budget. everybody agrees that is the one area where the treasury is hemorrhaging. impacting the seniors to get out of the drug company. that is absurd. the only way to attack this is to slow down the growth of healthcare. and the one area that you could really do that tort reform where a quarter of all spending in medicine is s

let's not forget, the deficit isn't the biggest problem. it's the lack of demand and equity in our distribution of income, two little data points we shouldn't forget. 93% of the in jump added in the 2010 went to the top 1% and wages are the lowest they've ever been. it's simply not fair. for ideas to solve the problems and the deficit at the same time, bob rob an and larry summers suggested some away raise capital gains taxes. lets stop giving capital preferences over earned income. it's only fair and right. it won't solve the problem but will go a long way. back to john boehner. he doesn't say anything about this, because he refuses to raise rates. it can only be because he refuses to see the real problem. joining me now congressman thank you for joining us as always. >> thank you. am i right about the boehner proposal and what the underlying problems are. >> you are. also it's also true with the boehner proposal is it's not specific. he makes the general claim that will put $800 billion of revenuen oh the table but doesn't say from where.
